Cyber Security Architect

        Should you be interested in overseeing these tasks and aiming for enhanced performance standards, your role will involve:

• Own the security architecture for technologies across the IT & Digital domain, ensuring security capabilities work effectively together and integrate seamlessly with the broader enterprise technology landscape.

• Define and evolve security architecture principles, reference architectures, standards, and reusable patterns that guide solution architects, domain architects, engineering teams, and security teams.

• Embed security by design by partnering with Infrastructure, Solution Owners, and Domain Architects to ensure security requirements and risk considerations are addressed from the earliest stages of solution design.

• Assess security risks for new and evolving solutions against Autoliv’s threat landscape and risk appetite, providing clear architectural recommendations and appropriate risk-based controls.

• Provide security architecture governance and technical guidance through architectural review boards, ensuring proposed solutions align with security standards, strategic direction, and enterprise architecture principles.

• Shape the future security technology landscape by evaluating emerging threats, industry trends, and new technologies, and translating them into actionable architecture roadmaps and target-state designs.

• Lead the architectural evaluation and selection of security technologies, including the introduction, modernization, integration, and replacement of capabilities across the security technology portfolio.

• Partner with lead engineers from design through initial implementation, translating architecture into practical technical designs while ensuring major changes and new capabilities remain aligned with the approved architecture.

• Provide technical leadership across security solutions, steering architectural direction and ensuring consistency across technologies without taking ownership of day-to-day engineering or operational activities.

• Contribute to Autoliv’s security strategy and roadmap, working closely with Security Architecture leadership and key stakeholders to align security architecture with business priorities, technology evolution, and the changing threat landscape.
